AUSCP’s Vision of the Church in Relation to the Vision of
Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich

Despite our repeated warnings, we continue to see remarks
suggesting that the AUSCP is a fringe organization that should be ignored, or a
shriveling band of disaffected hippies that will soon find a natural end to
their endeavors as they age out of existence.
While it is true that the majority of visible members of the AUSCP are
old, retired dissidents, their influence and reach cannot be underestimated!

The fact of the matter is that the AUSCP has powerful allies
in the episcopacy who not only have a lot of influence in the Church in the
United States, but hold key, influential positions at the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops. This
kind of reach through the AUSCP’s allies is precisely why the AUSCP needs to be
exposed and condemned, and why it cannot be ignored or shrugged off.

What follows is a list of currently known AUSCP allies in
the Episcopacy.

Cardinal Blasé Cupich

In January of 2016, then Archbishop Cupich welcomed the
AUSCP’s leadership team to discuss it’s fifth annual assembly to be held in
June of that year. At the assembly that
June, Abp. Cupich celebrated Mass for the AUSCP with member, Bp. John
Stowe. This past June, Cdl. Cupich
delivered the keynote address for the AUSCP’s assembly, on the topic,
“Ordination Does Not Annihilate Our Baptism.”
When we consider that the AUSCP shares a comfortable enough relationship
with Cdl. Cupich that he speaks at their conferences, celebrates Mass on their
behalf, and meets with their leadership team, we can certainly understand the
AUSCP’s excitement when Cupich was appointed to the Vatican’s Congregation for
Bishops. After the appointment was made,
AUSCP was quick to identify Cdl. Cupich as an ally, saying: “Archbishop Cupich,
with whom the AUSCP celebrated in Chicago, will have a defining role in the
selection of new U.S. bishops.” This is
by no means insignificant! Cdl. Cupich
also sits on the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education, which also
gives AUSCP considerable reach throughout the entire Catholic Church.

Archbishop John C. Wester

In June of 2016, Archbishop Wester agreed to serve as the
Episcopal Moderator for the AUSCP, acting effectively as a liaison to the
USCCB. In response to the invitation to
serve in this role, Abp. Wester said, “I am honored by your request and am
happy to serve in this capacity. I look forward to speaking with you in the
future so that I can learn how I can be of assistance and support.”

In January of 2018, Abp. Wester hosted the AUSCP leadership
team to discuss the 2018 assembly, and in June of that year, he happily
participated in it. Abp. Wester was
again at the AUSCP’s assembly this past June.

The biggest concern about Abp. Wester’s warm relationship
with the AUSCP is that he currently sits on SIX committees and subcommittees of
the USCCB. As close as he is with the
AUSCP, especially with an official role bridging the USCCB and the AUSCP, Abp.
Wester is perhaps the most dangerous and influential of the AUSCP’s allies.

Abp. Wester currently sits on the following committees and
subcommittees of the USCCB:

Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life, and Vocations

Committee on Communications

Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church

Committee on Migration

Subcommittee on the Church in Africa

Subcommittee on the Church in Latin America

His reach in the Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life, and
Vocations has the potential to significantly expand the AUSCP’s goals for
forming seminarians and young priests.
His membership in the Committee on Communication has the potential to
amplify the voice of the AUSCP through USCCB channels. And his position on the other committees
provides avenues for greater collaboration and entanglement between the USCCB
and the AUSCP itself.

Archbishop Wilton Gregory

In January of 2017, Abp. Gregory met with the AUSCP
leadership team to discuss their plans for the annual assembly that June. That June, Abp. Gregory participated in the
AUSCP’s assembly by giving a talk there.

As a former president of the USCCB, Abp. Gregory lends a
certain amount of credibility and legitimacy to the organization. Currently, he sits on the USCCB’s Committee
on Divine Worship and the Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism. As an ally of the AUSCP, his presence on the
Committee on Divine Worship could play a substantial role as the AUSCP seeks to
promote the idea of ordained female deacons, priestless parishes, and even
ordained female priests.

Bishop Robert McElroy

Bp. McElroy, an avid supporter of homosexuality, delivered
the AUSCP’s keynote address in June of 2018.

Bp. McElroy was a participant yet again in the AUSCP’s 2019
annual assembly.

As with Abp. Wester, Bp. McElroy sits on several committees
and subcommittees of the USCCB, two of which he serves with Abp. Wester
himself. Bp. McElroy is on the USCCB’s
Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, Committee on Domestic
Justice and Human Development, Committee on International Justice and Peace,
Subcommittee on the Church in Africa, and the Subcommittee on the Church in Latin
America. The Committee on Domestic
Justice and Human Development is the committee responsible for several lobbying
efforts of the USCCB on Capitol Hill.
The subcommittee under this one is actually the Catholic Campaign for
Human Development, which grants millions of dollars to hard-left organizations,
many of which promote abortion, contraception, homosexuality and Marxism. The Committee on International Justice and
Peace has a strong relationship with Catholic Relief Services, another entity
known for the promotion of contraception.

Bp. John Hartmayer

In 2017, Bp. Hartmayer joined Abp. Gregory for the AUSCP’s
sixth annual assembly. At the assembly,
Bp. Hartmayer served as the retreat leader for the AUSCP members in
attendance. Bp. Hartmayer serves on two
USCCB committees that would be very useful to the AUSCP’s agendas: Catholic
Communication Campaign and the National Collections Committee.

Bp. John Stowe

Bishop Stowe, an actual member of the AUSCP, is perhaps the
most actively involved of this group of bishops. As a member of the AUSCP, Bp. Stowe is
signaling his complete allegiance and alliance with the organization’s
pro-homosexual, pro-women’s ordination goals.

In 2016, Bp. Stowe spoke favorably to an assembly of the
Major Superiors of Men of homosexual men and women in religious life. In 2017, he participated in an event put on
by the condemned New Ways Ministry titled, “Justice and Mercy Shall Kiss: LGBT
Catholics in the Age of Pope Francis.”
In 2019, Bp. Stowe led an LGBT retreat at Notre Dame University. In June of this year, he composed a
pro-homosexual prayer “celebrating pride,” to be distributed at “Pride Month”
events.

It’s also important to remember that Bp. Stowe viciously
attacked the Covington Catholic boys over the hoax perpetrated by a lying
activist named Nathan Philips.

His unrelenting allegiance to the AUSCP’s gravely
anti-Catholic agenda is simply without question. So, his presence on the USCCB’s subcommittee
on the Catholic Campaign for Human Development will serve the AUSCP’s agenda
well as he helps to guide CCHD funding to organizations favorable to it.

Conclusion

As the saying goes, “It helps to have friends in high
places.” The AUSCP has bishops who are
very friendly to the organization, if not also to their cause. The influence the AUSCP can have through
their episcopal allies has the potential to be devastating to the faith, and
what’s worse is that the cover of legitimacy given to these heretical priests
enables them to maintain their operations without fear of sanctions.

CONTACT YOUR BISHOP ABOUT THE AUSCP!

Write your bishop and beg him to publicly condemn the AUSCP and forbid his priests from being members! For a complete listing of bishops and their addresses, click here.

Here is a sample letter to assist you in writing to your
bishop:

Your Excellency (title and last name of bishop):

Greetings to you in the name of the Queen of Heaven and Earth! My name is ____, a member of _____
parish. I am writing to you in the
spirit of Canons 907 and 212 to bring to your attention a matter of grave
danger to the integrity of faith and morals within our diocese.

An organization of Catholic priests called the Association
of United States Catholic Priests (AUSCP) is seeking to foment a revolt in the
Catholic Church by promoting homosexuality, women’s ordination, priestless
parishes, and the deconstruction of the sacerdotal nature of the priesthood. The AUSCP, which has been in existence since
2011, boasts of having over 1,300 members and is closely aligned with two
organizations (New Ways Ministry and Dignity USA) which promote same-sex
“marriage” and homosexual relationships.
It also works in collaboration with the dissident Voice of the Faithful
and the heretical FutureChurch.

I beg Your Excellency to investigate this organization and
publicly condemn it, forbidding your priests from being members. Because of these priests and their allies,
the salvation of many souls is in grave peril.
